Ernie from Charlotte, N.C., writes: Who do you see as Tennessee's next coach if Fulmer is fired?
Chris Low: First of all, if there is a change at Tennessee, I hope it's done in a classy manner and Phillip Fulmer is given the respect he deserves after investing more than 30 years of his life into his alma mater. It's never been just a job for him. But business is business, and he would walk away with $6 million if Tennessee does send him packing, so that would be a nice little parting gift. Some of the names that I think would be on Tennessee's list if Fulmer doesn't make it are former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin, Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe, Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, Boise State coach Chris Petersen, Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen, South Florida coach Jim Leavitt, Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson and Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville if Tuberville doesn't make it at Auburn. That's just a sampling. One of the big keys would be how the other coaching dominoes fall. I know Tennessee fans hate hearing this (hate hearing the truth, that is), but the Tennessee position is about the fifth best coaching job in the SEC (primarily because of recruiting difficulties) behind Florida, LSU, Georgia and Alabama.  |
